Daily Planet Host Jay Ingram interviewed Professor Doug Crawford and tested out his findings in the lab - and on the field, with the help of York U football players; click here to watch the clip (clip is at 8:00). Crawford's study, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, examined the inner workings of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), located towards the top and back of the skull; it acts as the brain’s game card for hand-eye coordination, playing a critical role in planning visually-guided actions. Crawford and colleagues in York’s Centre for Vision Research (CVR) used a non-invasive procedure called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to create activity in these three areas of the brain. TMS delivers mild, split-second electromagnetic pulses, with little to no side effects for participants. The research was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
